Over 2 Million Eggs Recalled Due To Possible Salmonella

The recalled eggs are sold under multiple brand names, including Coburn Farms, Country Daybreak, Food Lion, Glenview, Great Value, Nelms, Sunshine Farms and were also sold to restaurants.

Check the eggs in your fridge and make sure they haven't been recalled. At least 22 illnesses have been reported due to the potentially contaminated eggs.

Rose Acre Farms of Seymour of Indiana is voluntarily recalling 206,749,248 eggs because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. The eggs were distributed from the farm in Hyde County, North Carolina and reached consumers in New York, Colorado, Florida, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia through retail stores and restaurants via direct delivery.

According to the FDA "Salmonella Braenderup, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals infected with Salmonella Braenderup can experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain."

Illnesses were reported on the U.S. East Coast, which led to extensive interviews and eventually a thorough FDA inspection of the Hyde County farm, which produces 2.3 million eggs a day. The facility includes 3 million laying hens with a USDA inspector on-site daily.

Consumers who have purchased the eggs are urged to immediately discontinue use of the recalled eggs and to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at (855) 215-5730 between the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Standard time.
